Computations
- AssetView is a highly computative environment
- A transaction rolls up into a lot, into an asset, and into an account
- Overlaying that hierarchy is a collection of AssetView features such as asset class aggregations and attribute aggregations
- Overlaying that, if you enable, are data feeds from integrated Sources that supply your Personal Investment Data
- Overlaying that are asset price feeds
- Each new or changed transaction results in a need for re-computation of investment performance metrics for each-roll up and feature (e.g. profit, potential profit, Return %, MOM) across the stack
Calculate
- AssetView, while computationally intense, is designed to enable you to enter, import, or receive through an integration large quantities of new or changed transactions rapidly
- To achieve this, after you enter or edit a transaction, AssetView prompts you on the top right of the screen in an an orange font to "Calculate".
- You may then choose to enter additional transactions and the "Calculate" indicator will stay lit
- Whenever you wish, you may choose to invoke the re-computation process and AssetView will re-compute base don all of the transactions in the Calculate queue
- Once the Calculate function is invoked, a "Tasks Running" indicator shows until the critical computations complete
- You may continue entering data once that indicator ends
Fields That You Instruct When to Compute
- To optimize performance, AssetView performs some computations upon your instruction
- These fields display a lightning icon that you click to invoke the computation process
Fields Awaiting Results of Automatic Computation
- To optimize performance, AssetView performs some computations automatically in the background
- Fields awaiting the results of these background process computations show a "*" until the computed results display
Sync Button
- The Sync button synchronizes all data (e.g. sources, accounts, assets, transactions)
- The Sync process is computational intense
- So, we put you in control of when you invoke the process by clicking the Sync icon on the top menu bar
- To maximize efficiency, on a specific Source page, you may:
- Sync just that Source
- Disable Sync such that a particularly detailed Source temporarily does not participate in the general Sync process
Refresh Pricing
- AssetView automatically refreshes asset prices
- You may also click the "Refresh Pricing" button to manually invoke the process
